Bright eyes gets a visitor
Yes, we have eyes! Everyone is now in various states of openness; when I took this picture Kipling had the other eye still shut, but in the hours since it has opened as well. He, Trudy, and Aggie are all two for two; the other blacks are just about there, with various states of one-and-a-half piratey eyes; and the merles are taking their sweet time with little cracks but no big openings. At least as far as I can tell, the blacks all have two dark eyes and the merles all look like they have some proportion of blue or maybe what will eventually be amber (what shows through the cracks is definitely not the black/brown of the dark puppies).
Mad scrambing! I tried to get a picture of what feeding time now looks like but blurriness is a fact of life now. They are all well up on their feet and climb up over me, over Clue, and under and over each other to get there first.
Today was the first day I let Zuzu in the box to watch them eat (she's been allowed to watch from over the wall but not touch them); I sat beside her so she wouldn't try to stuff a puppy down her shirt and escape. She was absolutely enchanted and asked to hold each one in turn, stroking her fingers down their tails and touching their whiskers.
She held Clue's ears while Clue cleaned puppies, giggling at the mad dash for food.

Oh, such dear photos! Wonder what Kipling thinks of his first sight. They are so sweet : )
there is way too much cuteness in that last picture… it’s like an explosion of Yum!
They all have the cutest little eyes, deep and pretty; I’m pretty sure they have some visual on us, because whenever I pick one up, they always stare right at me face. The world must be pretty blurry to them, though. :D
Argh, Matey! Piratey eyes, it tis!
OMG , Joanna – we thought you were kidding about the pirate ship full of puppies! LOL!
